Description

Strategic Intelligence: Deep Dive into China's Robotics Market

Summary

China has been the largest market for industrial robots for a decade. Robotics has become a key part of China’s national strategy, driven by pressures such as an aging population and declining labor force participation rates, as well as the imperative to sustain productivity and competitiveness as the world’s manufacturing hub.

Key Highlights
  • In 2024, for the first time, Chinese robot manufacturers sold more robots domestically than they did overseas. By strengthening its self-supply, China is less vulnerable to trade disruptions, sanctions, component shortages, and other supply chain bottlenecks.
  • In 2025, humanoid robots transitioned from experimental to commercial products, serving multiple uses in industry, service, and personal settings. In 2025, Chinese manufacturers accounted for approximately 81% of humanoid robot shipments.
Scope
  • This report examines China's robotics market, including analysis of its use of industrial robots and its position in the burgeoning humanoid robot segment.
  • It looks at the drivers for China's robot adoption, with an evaluation of demographic factors and the role of robots in maintaining manufacturing output.
  • It also evaluates other robotics markets in Asia, Europe, and the US, identifying leading companies and highlighting emerging use cases.
Reasons to Buy
  • China has cultivated its position as a global robotics leader. Since at least 2014, it has led the world in annual industrial robot installations, accounting for 54% of global installations in 2024. China also ranks third globally in robot density.
  • This report will help you understand the scale of China's robotics market, the companies driving growth in this highly disruptive theme, and the areas in which China is building an advantage over other countries, including the US.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
